It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… I could go on and on, but who among us isn’t feeling the spirit when you see The English Market all decked out in holiday cheer? The holiday hours are posted, the gift certificates are available for purchase, and the banners of old Cork photos and fresh Christmas geese are hanging up. Well, it’s about to get a lot more Christmasy!

On Saturday (18 Dec) at 5:30 p.m. St. Luke’s Choir will bathe the Market in dulcet tones of holiday carols (with proceeds going to Marymount Hospice). There will be spiced beef tastings for punters too!

The English Market Christmas hours are as follows, but keep in mind that if a stall is not seeing many customers it may close an hour before the set closing time. But either way, they’re open past 6pm so I’m thrilled!
